Vinyl-Coated Round Wire Roofing Nails from China
These are one-piece construction nails made from round steel wire, coated with vinyl for enhanced corrosion resistance and easier removal from wood. They fall under HTS 7317.00.55.80 due to their round wire construction and vinyl coating, distinguishing them from plain or differently coated nails. Commonly used in outdoor construction where weather exposure is a concern.
